    Kind of a steep start through some cedar trees. Pretty steep and a lot of loose rocks between the 5th and 7th stage. The trees at the top block the view to the north and west but you can see Chokai to the south and Yur...

    The first half of this route was overgrown so it was tough for the kids. There's an alternate start point through a neighborhood a little ways up the road that allows you to drive up.

    Just wanted to do a quick one before lunch. From the first sign you can drive to the entrance - 800m. The ultimate destination for the path isToukousan (東光山), but if you make a left at the 7th stage and find the little...

    Short but steep. Sees a lot of traffic and is well maintained. The official "summit" is surrounded by trees but there are great views nearby. I went up ②鳥居長根コース and came down ①風ぴらコース

    I chose "Moderate" because we couldn't find the "proper" path so we bushwhacked our way to the top after finding an old road that got us started. From the top, it was easy to find the path down. If it weren't for the fa...
